alice-teacher Properties and linked values

Please try this on the latest release of Alice 3 available on the web site. I believe we have addressed this, but it will be good to hear if it is still a problem...

Thank you,

They had explicitly unlinked width from height, but changing one field still changed the other proportionally. I assume that that is a bug. (Ie. If the road is 5 x 50 x .5, and they unlink, they should be able to change it to 5 x 100 x .5 without any difficulty. This was not happening; regardless of the state of the chain link, they would get 10 x 100 x .5.)
